Tuscaloosa County District Judge Jim Guin refused to reduce the bond of a man accused of trying to kill a Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's deputy in November.Charles Sanchase White, 33, has been held in the Tuscaloosa County Jail since his arrest Nov. 26.Investigators assigned to a holiday burglary suppression detail received information that White planned to commit an armed burglary of a home on Cherry Wood Circle. Officers staked out the area and witnessed White exit a car on Crescent Ridge Road around 12:30 a.m.Investigator Antonio Bostic said that he threw open his door, identified himself as law enforcement and yelled for White to put his hands up. White had walked so close to Bostic's unmarked truck that he had to step back when Bostic opened the driver's side door, he said.White fired a handgun at least once, he testified. Bostic fired two rounds. No one was struck. Bostic said that White was also armed with a knife.An internal investigation determined that Bostic acted within department policy, Chief Deputy Ron Abernathy said at the time.Bostic testified that investigators had learned that White intended to break into a nearby home, restrain the occupants and take their belongings. Investigators warned the homeowners, who slept elsewhere that night.Judge Guin said that prosecutors didn't present evidence to prove the burglary attempt. He found no probable cause to prosecute White for attempted burglary, but agreed there was enough evidence to prosecute him for attempted murder. He declined to reduce the $100,000 bond for the attempted murder charge. A grand jury will hear now hear evidence in that case.
